Will this strut bar work

I have heard most on the board say it doesn't matter what sturt bar you get... Will this one work just as well as the otto?

the otto bar and spw bar have almost the sam shipping. As a matter of fact, the spw bar i saw yesterday had more money for shipping. So lets see... 25-40 plust that shipping or 6 dollars plus that shipping... I ordered my 6 dollar bar the other day.

Ok do the math... but in my opinion.. paying someone $16.00 bucks for shipping is not very smart.....that means the strut is like 18 and the shippping is 4....get it....but it is your money....

it doesnt matter what the shipping is!! its still going to be less than buying any other FSTB on the market! thats just how they make their money...25 dollars is a lot less then 40 or w/e that other e-bay brand goes for...and a hell of a lot better than the stillen or CM prices....

But the real point is they all charge the same on shipping. Why not save some money and get the one withought all the little stuff on it. Actually there are some on there that charge less than the the bigger companies for shipping and there bar is cheaper by at least two times less. It seems to be a no brainer, unless you want more looks. Any way you put it their bar is by far the cheapest you are going to find. They just make the price look low to draw in the market. It is simply just a great way of advertising. I did a lot of comarisons before i found the best deal. Actual websites that sell the more expensive ones are close to that shipping price anyways.

this is how I buy on ebay, if the price of the item plus ship is lower than retail, I buy it. either way you're paying lower than retail and thats the point aint it..

I have it... it works fine... whether its $16 plus $4 shipping or $4 plus $16 shipping it doesn't matter... eBay sellers set the shipping prices to whatever they want. They price the strut bar cheap possibly because it appears more "attractive" that way. I dunno about the psychology (if any) behind it, but I have the strut bar and it fits and works fine so far...

just got an SPW strut bar from ebay yesterday. installed today, spent 38 bucks i believe, can't complain too much. really wanted the cattman titanium ti-strut bar, but that's 195.00 without shipping......how dumb would i have been to get that?

go for the billet ebay one SPW, looks good, and i don't like the "otto" printed on their bars.

What do you mean you accidentally bid on it? You didn't mean to bid on it but you somehow did?
